Hello to all in computer land! I'm sitting in a hotel room in Amherst, Mass., loving my day off! We have become accustomed to playing and venting our energies on a daily basis, so we have a tendency to forget what a little peace and quiet can do for the soul. We have been on tour with 311 and Sugar Ray now for about three weeks, and all of our expectations have been surpassed. We open the show every evening with ambient didjeridu noises and turn-table kung fu, only to contradict that peace with the spicy little ditty called "Redefine." It has a way of inciting the spunk in many a Monday night crowd. And, on a more apologetic note, we'd like to say sorry about the brief sets for the past couple of months. We've been opening for national acts and a half an hour is all the time we've been allowed. Incubus usually hits it's plateau around the half hour spot; so you can imagine the sense of anti-climax we experience nightly. But, it is hardly a problem. These opportunities are nothing shy of amazing, and we have the deepest gratitude towards the bands who so graciously take us out with them.

Amidst sub-zero climates, inevitable vehicle failures, multitudious urban whales, intolerant law enforcement officials, frequent in-van flatulence, ruthless house-keeping attendants, sporadic temper tantrums, loneliness, and a myriad other traveling travesties, living on the American road has a unique charm all it's own. One can only wonder what lies ahead on the highway of life, as the yellow lines zip by like the days in our year. We in this musical adventure have collectively agreed that this experience is as beautiful as it is terrifying! And none of us would trade it for anything. This is our calling, and we will always have fun in this artistic endeavor.

Thank you to any and all for listening, and I guess we'll see you in your town. Come and say hi to us,o.k.?
